This first video is the guys over at Acts 17 Apologetics discussing what happened on Friday, June 18th at the ArabFest in Dearborn, MI. Plus, there’s some footage of the arrest by another person at the festival. For more updates go to their blog: www.answeringmuslims.com

This next video shows what happened on Sunday, June 20th at the festival:

And this final video is some coverage from Fox News. The story isn’t quite accurate in this segment. They were not arrested while passing out material. They were arrested on Friday evening while walking around the festival. They were not passing out material. They were not approaching people. They were not talking with anyone who didn’t first approach them. That’s when they were arrested.

Free Speech or Breach of Peace?

Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com


I was interviewed concerning the arrests by Dr. Richard Land, of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission on his live radio program. You can listen to it here.

The video footage they shot at the festival would help defend them against the charges of “breaching the peace.” However, all of their equipment has been confiscated by the Dearborn police. It has been over a week and the video equipment hasn’t been released to David or Nabeel or to their lawyer. Nor have the police made an official statement as to: 1) why they confiscated the equipment and 2) why they will not release the video footage.

The guys are receiving many questions about this incident from Christians, Muslims, atheists, etc. So they have posted some responses to these questions available here.

  1. Hi,

    Since you mentioned the events at last year's Arab Festival when you were interviewed in Greg Koukl's Stand to Reason program a while back, perhaps you should contact and inform them of this year's events? I'd guess that they'd be glad to have David, Nabeel or you as a guest in their show. I think STR is pretty popular, so the case would get a good amount of publicity.
